"The Synth Sounds Of…" is back! In this triumphant return, William Kurk walks us through classic synth tracks that have shaped generations, and shows you how to make those same sounds today.

This time, we're diving into the robotic beauty of Gary Numan's The Pleasure Principle—specifically the massive 1979 hit "Cars," as well as "Are 'Friends' Electric?," "M.E.," and "Metal"—a few deeper cuts from the same era. See more on Reverb: https://shorturl.at/Btp7P
